55We had a blast!!! The host is amazing, there’s free cranberry juice and cheeze-it crackers for people to get a snack. There were also free wool puppy beds! My pup really loves hers! Running Water is also available so you can give your dog a bath, bring a splash pad or play with a little pool. I will definitely be back! Luz Angela G.

Christopher's Fully Fenced Turf Yard (no mud!) For Dogs To Rent In Portland | Sniffspot
55Super nice spot. The turf is so nice for days when it’s wet/has been raining because it’s mess free. The backyard itself is pretty big and there was so much for my pup to explore and sniff. There was also a basket of toys that my pup dug into and had a blast with. I requested that the owner had their pup out of sight as my dog loves other dogs and will sit at the door if he spots one inside instead of burning off his energy haha. They accommodated my request and if I hadn’t of read their profile, wouldn’t have even known they had a dog. Super nice spot and we’ll be back! Kayley A.
